As Luiz points out, it's been a while since BlueZ 4 was current. Is
there a reason you ask about keeping support for it around?

While it might seem like there is no cost to just keeping the code
around, each time we add code, either it is BlueZ 5 only, or there's
overhead to make sure it builds and/or works on a BlueZ 4 setup.
